GameSpot has contacted Aliens: Colonial Marines publisher Sega and developer Demiurge to find out exactly what has happened to the Wii U version of the game. Aliens: Colonial Marines was meant to launch on Wii U at the end of March, but we’ve barely had any news about it. Here’s what both the publisher and developer had to say about the long overdue Wii U version.

“We’re still not commenting on Aliens: Colonial Marines at this point. Sorry, I don’t have better news,”

Despite the rumours on the Internet yesterday saying otherwise, Sega has told Eurogamer that the Wii U version of the flawed Aliens: Colonial Marines is still in development and hasn’t been cancelled. Sega says the rumour isn’t true. They haven’t announced a release date for the Wii U version yet, but that is all. When questioned about the phrase “postponed indefinitely”, Sega said that they had never announced a release date for the Wii U version of the game.

“It’s not true. “We haven’t announced the release date for it yet but that’s it.”

Rumours have begun to surface that suggest that the Wii U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines has been postponed indefinitely. Kotaku writer Jason Schreier says he received a tip around a month ago that the flawed game had been canned on Wii U. He said he has spoken to SEGA who have denied it. It’s also worth noting that Amazon has removed the Wii U version from its site.

We heard from a tipster about a month ago that the Wii U version had been “postponed indefinitely.” We reached out to Sega, and they denied it. I’ll let you guys fill in the blanks there. :)

Gearbox Software has released a new multiplayer trailer for the forthcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines. Gearbox Software has announced a February 12, 2013 launch for Aliens: Colonial Marines on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC with a Wii U version announcement “at a later time”. Is this a game you’re planning to pick up?

Sega and Gearbox Software today announced Escape mode, a new competitive multiplayer mode, for its highly anticipated blockbuster Aliens: Colonial Marines video game, launching February 12, 2013 worldwide. With a competitive death match game mode already revealed earlier in the year, Escape mode is the second in a number of competitive multiplayer modes for Aliens: Colonial Marines and will challenge players in an intense scenario against the universe’s deadliest killers, the Xenomorph.

It’s been confirmed that Demiurge Studios is the development team behind Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii U. Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford has said that roughly 80% of the work on Aliens Wii U is being handled internally, but Demiurge, Nerve and Timegate are all lending a helping hand.

“When I play with the controller, I immediately realize that for the types of games I like to play and make, this is the best controller I’ve ever had from Nintendo. For Aliens: Colonial Marines, it’s really exciting to have that screen there because I can do things that are very unique to this universe. For instance, we have a motion tracker in this universe. Now our motion tracker can literally be in our hands and we can see and hear it –and scan the room in 360 degrees, since it’s a motion device.”
